Macro View of the Place and Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Design, Content, Delivery, and Student Engagement in Graduate Leadership Education Programs

Abstract

Accelerated development and engagement of artificial intelligence are among the most significant global challenges in transforming the social and economic environment, resulting in the heightened emphasis on inclusive, collaborative, ethical decision-making and responsible leadership. Higher education is an integral part of the global landscape of society and is influenced by its changing context. Accordingly, leadership educators must respond to the changes in the global and institutional environments and the new leadership paradigm in designing and implementing their leadership education programs. Here, we consider the macro level of the “place” within which higher education institutions are situated and reflect upon the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the design and delivery of leadership education programs.
